Welcome to this meditation focused on self-love.
The purpose is to grow your self-worth.
Find yourself in a seated or lying down position.
Close your eyes and take in a deep breath in through the nose.
And exhale.
Do that two more times.
Inhale through the nose.
Deep belly breath in and release.
Allowing yourself to be present in this moment.
Inhale again.
And exhale through the mouth.
Good.
Now bring your attention to your breath.
Notice how your body is moving as you inhale and exhale.
Feel yourself moving into a more relaxed state.
And feeling more at ease.
Bring your attention,
However you're seated or lying down,
Bring your attention to your feet.
Allowing them to feel the ground beneath them.
Either the surface that they're touching or the bottoms of your feet.
Just feeling that connection to the earth.
Now bring that connection,
That awareness from the feet.
And spread your attention all the way up your ankles.
Bring your awareness up your thighs and hips.
Allowing the body to move with the breath.
Relaxing your muscles.
Calming.
Releasing the shoulders.
Feeling your heart space opening and softening.
Moving your awareness down your arms to your elbows and wrists.
And your fingertips.
And your facial muscles.
Raising your eyebrows.
Smiling.
Moving your jaw,
Releasing any tension you might be holding.
Opening and closing your mouth.
Now bring your attention to your heart center.
The area in the middle of your chest.
So just bringing your focus here.
This is the center of love and compassion.
With each breath I invite you to feel this area grow.
Maybe it's like a strength,
A beating sensation.
Or a light,
A brighter sensation.
Or maybe it's even like a fluttering,
Excitement sensation.
Whatever it is,
Maybe put your hand there on your heart space.
You can put both of them there on top of each other.
Now silently or out loud,
Repeat the following affirmations.
I am worthy of love.
I am worthy of respect.
I love myself.
I accept myself.
I love myself.
Is not determined by others.
I am deserving of all the good things in life.
I am enough.
Just as I am.
Now you can put your hands down softly.
Palms open.
And let the truth of these affirmations resonate with you.
You are worthy of love and respect.
Your worth is not determined by anyone else.
Love,
Come with acceptance.
Do you believe these things?
Now I want you to imagine yourself standing in front of a mirror.
And take a deep look into your own eyes.
And see that love,
That worthiness reflected back to you.
Notice the details of your eyes,
Your face.
The strength of your expression as you say to yourself,
I am worthy of love and respect.
As you continue to look into that mirror.
See yourself surrounding with confidence and self-worth.
As if it's a light growing brighter.
Standing taller.
Your shoulders back,
Your head held high.
Radiating with love and confidence.
Visualizing yourself going through your day.
Interacting with others,
Making decisions.
Taking actions with a sense of self-worth.
See how your life changes.
How you attract positive experiences.
When you work out of love.
You can feel empowered and confident in every situation.
When you trust the love you have for yourself.
Bring to mind any negative thoughts or beliefs that may creep in.
You don't have to judge them.
You're just acknowledging negative thoughts.
If you saw yourself in a mirror,
Did you believe that you deserve love?
If there was a negative thought that said,
No,
I don't deserve it.
Visualize placing that negativity in a bubble.
See that bubble rising above you.
Floating higher and higher.
Taking these negative beliefs with it.
They do not serve you.
They do not suit you.
They do not fit here.
They are not welcome.
We let that bubble take that negativity.
We replace it with a loving thought for yourself.
Bring your awareness back to your breath.
Take a few deep cleansing breaths in through the nose and mouth.
Now inhale love for yourself.
Gratitude for this moment.
Meditation.
Exhaling any more negativity that might be present.
When you're ready,
Wiggle your toes or your fingers.
Just bring your movement back into the body.
Open your eyes if they're closed.
Feeling that sense of empowerment that you are worthy of all good things.
Feeling refreshed and fueled with your self-love.
May you have a beautiful day.
